AdSense just emailed me, I've earned $500 in total from my channel! Thank you! Not much for 3 years worth of work, but I don't do it for the money. I earn a lot less because I refuse to use video ads that may startle or trigger you, or delay you from accessing audios in a crisis. It is a very significant difference in earnings compared to other channels, but I would gladly prioritise the wellbeing of my listeners ahead of financial gain any day. Comfort, safety and valuing listener wellbeing are the hallmarks of this channel and something I would not trade for anything.
Most of my income is from the generous support of the rainclouds on Patreon, though sadly it isn't enough to cover all of my expenses, but every little bit is appreciated and your support means so much to me. We've built a lovely community around it, too. www.patreon.com/rainydayaudios
I'm keenly aware the majority of my audience doesn't have the financial stability to support me, particularly as many are young, queer and mentally ill. I never want anyone to be financially struggling because they supported me, so please only do so responsibly and sustainably.
Whether you have the ability to support me financially or you leave nice supportive comments and appreciate my work, I want to thank you. It's been a rocky journey and there's been plenty of ups and downs, quiet periods and bursts of activity, a lot of growth and experimentation, but this channel remains one of the things I'm most proud of. I'm seeing a lot of people find value in these audios (and even the gaming videos) in these difficult times, particularly when we're feeling isolated, stressed, unsafe and in need of comfort or escapism. I'm really happy that I can provide some help to so many people and it fulfils some of my core values, which is far more important than money. Thank you for listening, for watching, for commenting and sharing and interacting, for supporting me however you can. I'm looking forward to what the future holds for the channel and for all of us, my little rainclouds.
